He highly valued the efforts and achievements by the local Party organization, administration, and people in recent years to turn Hanoi into a leading locality in multiple aspects, including reform and growth. He also recognized the political resolve of leaders of local agencies, organizations, and administrations at all levels who have adopted a reformed mindset, taken drastic actions, and upheld a high sense of responsibility towards the development of the capital city.
Pointing some focal tasks for the time to come, the leader emphasized the need to be fully aware of Hanoi’s potential, outstanding advantages, and particularly important role in the cause of “Doi moi” (Renewal), the Red River Delta, and the entire nation.

Hanoi is the capital city and a special metropolis, so it needs a system of specific and breakthrough mechanisms and policies to enforce the revised Law on the Capital, improve its financial - budgetary capacity, and mobilize resources for development in the time ahead, he remarked.

Given this, Hanoi should be more active in making use of ministries and central sectors’ assistance, he requested.
